[Tex/LaTex] Suppress the text “Figure X about here” in the endfloat package

endfloatfloats

The endfloat package is very useful to programmatically move all floats to the end of a manuscript without manually editing each floating environment. However, it introduces a placeholder tag with the text "Figure X about here". For my current use case, I would prefer it simply move the figures to the end silently, and not print this placeholder text.

I can suppress the figure/table table-of-contents it creates by re-defining the commands:

\usepackage{endfloat} % Floats at end
\renewcommand{\listoffigures}{} % but suppress these lists
\renewcommand{\listoftables}{} % suppress these lists

But not sure what to do to remove the "[Figure X about here]" text. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Use the nomarkers option:

\usepackage[nomarkers]{endfloat}

As a side note, instead of redefining \listoffigures and \listoftables, you can suppress them using the package options nofiglist, notablist

\usepackage[notablist,nofiglist]{endfloat}

or equivalently, [nolists]

[Tex/LaTex] Numbered figure with caption in footnote

Floating does not make a lot of sense in footnotes, hence I thought about it again and decided to use a minipage environment with the \captionof command instead. Please see the code below:

\documentclass[
DIV10,
a4paper,
pagesize,
english,
]{scrartcl} %scrreprt, scrartcl
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\section{``Floating'' figure in a footnote}

\blindtext\footnote{ %
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}%
\centering %
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{demo} %
\captionof{figure}{\dots and a caption}
\label{fig:demo} %
\end{minipage}} %
\par
\blindtext

You have to repeat the resetting at every \section in the appendix.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[nofiglist,notablist]{endfloat}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\begin{document}

\section{Section one}

The main figure is Figure~\ref{Figure-1}, and the main table is Table~\ref{Table-1}. Supplemental material 
includes Figure~\ref{Figure-A1} and Table~\ref{Table-A1} in the first appendix, and Figure~\ref{Figure-B1} 
and Figure~\ref{Figure-B2} in the second appendix.
